# Custom Hosting Provider Guide

This guide walks you through creating a new hosting provider integration for Setec Manager. By the end, you will have a provider package that auto-registers with the system and can be used through the same unified API as the built-in Hostinger provider.

---

## Prerequisites

- Go 1.25+ (matching the project's `go.mod`)
- Familiarity with the Go `interface` pattern and HTTP client programming
- An API key or credentials for the hosting provider you are integrating
- A checkout of the `setec-manager` repository

---

## Project Structure

Provider implementations live under `internal/hosting/<provider_name>/`. Each provider is its own Go package.

```
internal/hosting/
  provider.go              -- Provider interface + model types + registry
  store.go                 -- ProviderConfig, ProviderConfigStore
  config.go                -- Legacy config store
  hostinger/               -- Built-in Hostinger provider
    client.go              --   HTTP client, auth, retry logic
    dns.go                 --   DNS record operations
  myprovider/              -- Your new provider (create this)
    provider.go            --   init() registration + interface methods
    client.go              --   HTTP client for the provider's API
    dns.go                 --   (optional) DNS-specific logic
    domains.go             --   (optional) Domain-specific logic
    vms.go                 --   (optional) VPS-specific logic
```

You can organize files however you like within the package; the only requirement is that the package calls `hosting.Register(...)` in an `init()` function.

## The Provider Interface

The `Provider` interface is defined in `internal/hosting/provider.go`. Every provider must implement all methods. Methods that your provider does not support should return `ErrNotSupported`.

```go
type Provider interface {
    // Identity
    Name() string
    DisplayName() string

    // Configuration
    Configure(config map[string]string) error
    TestConnection() error

    // DNS
    ListDNSRecords(domain string) ([]DNSRecord, error)
    CreateDNSRecord(domain string, record DNSRecord) error
    UpdateDNSRecords(domain string, records []DNSRecord, overwrite bool) error
    DeleteDNSRecord(domain string, recordName, recordType string) error
    ResetDNSRecords(domain string) error

    // Domains
    ListDomains() ([]Domain, error)
    GetDomain(domain string) (*Domain, error)
    CheckDomainAvailability(domains []string) ([]DomainAvailability, error)
    PurchaseDomain(req DomainPurchaseRequest) (*Domain, error)
    SetNameservers(domain string, nameservers []string) error
    EnableDomainLock(domain string) error
    DisableDomainLock(domain string) error
    EnablePrivacyProtection(domain string) error
    DisablePrivacyProtection(domain string) error

    // VMs / VPS
    ListVMs() ([]VM, error)
    GetVM(id string) (*VM, error)
    CreateVM(req VMCreateRequest) (*VM, error)
    ListDataCenters() ([]DataCenter, error)
    ListSSHKeys() ([]SSHKey, error)
    AddSSHKey(name, publicKey string) (*SSHKey, error)
    DeleteSSHKey(id string) error

    // Billing
    ListSubscriptions() ([]Subscription, error)
    GetCatalog() ([]CatalogItem, error)
}
```

## Implementing the Interface

### Step 1: Create the Package

```bash
mkdir -p internal/hosting/myprovider
```

### Step 2: Implement the Provider

Create `internal/hosting/myprovider/provider.go`:

```go
package myprovider

import (
    "errors"
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "time"

    "setec-manager/internal/hosting"
)

// ErrNotSupported is returned by methods this provider does not implement.
var ErrNotSupported = errors.New("myprovider: operation not supported")

// Provider implements hosting.Provider for the MyProvider service.
type Provider struct {
    client  *http.Client
    apiKey  string
    baseURL string
}

// init registers this provider with the hosting registry.
// This runs automatically when the package is imported.
func init() {
    hosting.Register(&Provider{
        client: &http.Client{
            Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
        },
        baseURL: "https://api.myprovider.com",
    })

    }
    p.apiKey = key

    if baseURL, ok := config["base_url"]; ok && baseURL != "" {
        p.baseURL = baseURL
    }
    return nil
}

func (p *Provider) TestConnection() error {

func (p *Provider) GetCatalog() ([]hosting.CatalogItem, error)         { return nil, ErrNotSupported }
```

## Registration

Registration happens automatically via Go's `init()` mechanism. When the main binary imports the provider package (even as a side-effect import), the `init()` function runs and calls `hosting.Register()`.

In `cmd/main.go` (or wherever the binary entry point is), add a blank import:

```go
import (
    // Register hosting providers
    _ "setec-manager/internal/hosting/hostinger"
    _ "setec-manager/internal/hosting/myprovider"
)
```

The `hosting.Register()` function stores the provider instance in a global `map[string]Provider` protected by a `sync.RWMutex`:

```go
// From internal/hosting/provider.go
func Register(p Provider) {
    registryMu.Lock()
    defer registryMu.Unlock()
    registry[p.Name()] = p
}
```

After registration, the provider is accessible via `hosting.Get("myprovider")` and appears in `hosting.List()`.

---

## Configuration Storage

When a user configures your provider (via the UI or API), the system:

1. Calls `provider.Configure(map[string]string{"api_key": "..."})` to set credentials in memory.
2. Calls `provider.TestConnection()` to verify the credentials work.
3. Saves a `ProviderConfig` to disk via `ProviderConfigStore.Save()`.

The config file is written to `<config_dir>/<provider_name>.json` with `0600` permissions:

```json
{
  "provider": "myprovider",
  "api_key": "sk-abc123...",
  "api_secret": "",
  "extra": {
    "base_url": "https://api.myprovider.com/v2"
  },
  "connected": true
}
```

On startup, `ProviderConfigStore.loadAll()` reads all JSON files from the config directory, and for each one that matches a registered provider, calls `Configure()` to restore credentials.

---

## Error Handling

### The ErrNotSupported Pattern

Define a sentinel error in your provider package:

```go
var ErrNotSupported = errors.New("myprovider: operation not supported")
```

Return this error from any interface method your provider does not implement. The HTTP handler layer checks for this error and returns HTTP 501 (Not Implemented) to the client.

### API Errors

For errors from the upstream provider API, return a descriptive error with context:

```go
return fmt.Errorf("myprovider: list domains: %w", err)
```

### Rate Limiting

If the provider has rate limits, handle them inside your client. See the Hostinger implementation in `internal/hosting/hostinger/client.go` for a reference pattern:

1. Check for HTTP 429 responses.
2. Read the `Retry-After` header.
3. Sleep and retry (up to a maximum number of retries).
4. Return a clear error if retries are exhausted.

```go
if resp.StatusCode == http.StatusTooManyRequests {
    retryAfter := parseRetryAfter(resp.Header.Get("Retry-After"))
    if attempt < maxRetries {
        time.Sleep(retryAfter)
        continue
    }
    return fmt.Errorf("myprovider: rate limited after %d retries", maxRetries)
}
```

---

## Testing

### Unit Tests

Create `internal/hosting/myprovider/provider_test.go`:

```go
package myprovider

import (
    "testing"

    "setec-manager/internal/hosting"
)

func TestProviderImplementsInterface(t *testing.T) {
    var _ hosting.Provider = (*Provider)(nil)
}

func TestName(t *testing.T) {
    p := &Provider{}
    if p.Name() != "myprovider" {
        t.Errorf("expected name 'myprovider', got %q", p.Name())
    }
}

func TestConfigure(t *testing.T) {
    p := &Provider{}
    err := p.Configure(map[string]string{})
    if err == nil {
        t.Error("expected error when api_key is missing")
    }

    err = p.Configure(map[string]string{"api_key": "test-key"})
    if err != nil {
        t.Errorf("unexpected error: %v", err)
    }
    if p.apiKey != "test-key" {
        t.Errorf("expected apiKey 'test-key', got %q", p.apiKey)
    }
}

func TestUnsupportedMethodsReturnError(t *testing.T) {
    p := &Provider{}

    _, err := p.ListVMs()
    if err != ErrNotSupported {
        t.Errorf("ListVMs: expected ErrNotSupported, got %v", err)
    }

    _, err = p.GetCatalog()
    if err != ErrNotSupported {
        t.Errorf("GetCatalog: expected ErrNotSupported, got %v", err)
    }
}
```

### Integration Tests

For integration tests against the real API, use build tags to prevent them from running in CI:

```go
//go:build integration

package myprovider

import (
    "os"
    "testing"
)

func TestListDomainsIntegration(t *testing.T) {
    key := os.Getenv("MYPROVIDER_API_KEY")
    if key == "" {
        t.Skip("MYPROVIDER_API_KEY not set")
    }

    p := &Provider{}
    p.Configure(map[string]string{"api_key": key})

    domains, err := p.ListDomains()
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("ListDomains failed: %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("Found %d domains", len(domains))
}
```

Run integration tests:

```bash
go test -tags=integration ./internal/hosting/myprovider/ -v
```

### Registration Test

Verify that importing the package registers the provider:

```go
package myprovider_test

import (
    "testing"

    "setec-manager/internal/hosting"
    _ "setec-manager/internal/hosting/myprovider"
)

func TestRegistration(t *testing.T) {
    p, err := hosting.Get("myprovider")
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("provider not registered: %v", err)
    }
    if p.DisplayName() == "" {
        t.Error("DisplayName is empty")
    }
}
```

## Example: Skeleton Provider (DNS Only)

This is a complete, minimal provider that implements only DNS management. All other methods return `ErrNotSupported`. You can copy this file and fill in the DNS methods with real API calls.

```go
package dnsonlyprovider

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "errors"
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"
    "time"

    "setec-manager/internal/hosting"
)

var ErrNotSupported = errors.New("dnsonlyprovider: operation not supported")

type Provider struct {
    client  *http.Client
    apiKey  string
    baseURL string
}

func init() {
    hosting.Register(&Provider{
        client:  &http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second},
        baseURL: "https://api.dns-only.example.com/v1",
    })
}

func (p *Provider) Name() string        { return "dnsonlyprovider" }
func (p *Provider) DisplayName() string { return "DNS-Only Provider" }

func (p *Provider) Configure(config map[string]string) error {
    key, ok := config["api_key"]
    if !ok || key == "" {
        return fmt.Errorf("dnsonlyprovider: api_key is required")
    }
    p.apiKey = key
    return nil
}

func (p *Provider) TestConnection() error {
    // Try listing zones as a health check.
    req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", p.baseURL+"/zones", nil)
    req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+p.apiKey)
    resp, err := p.client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("dnsonlyprovider: connection failed: %w", err)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
        body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
        return fmt.Errorf("dnsonlyprovider: API returned %d: %s", resp.StatusCode, body)
    }

## Example: Full Provider Structure

For a provider that implements all capabilities, organize the code across multiple files:

```
internal/hosting/fullprovider/
  provider.go    -- init(), Name(), DisplayName(), Configure(), TestConnection()
  client.go      -- HTTP client with auth, retry, rate-limit handling
  dns.go         -- ListDNSRecords, CreateDNSRecord, UpdateDNSRecords, DeleteDNSRecord, ResetDNSRecords
  domains.go     -- ListDomains, GetDomain, CheckDomainAvailability, PurchaseDomain, nameserver/lock/privacy methods
  vms.go         -- ListVMs, GetVM, CreateVM, ListDataCenters
  ssh.go         -- ListSSHKeys, AddSSHKey, DeleteSSHKey
  billing.go     -- ListSubscriptions, GetCatalog
  types.go       -- Provider-specific API request/response types
```

Each file focuses on a single capability area. The `client.go` file provides a shared `doRequest()` method (similar to the Hostinger client) that handles authentication headers, JSON marshaling, error parsing, and retry logic.

### Key Patterns from the Hostinger Implementation

1. **Separate API types from generic types.** Define provider-specific request/response structs (e.g., `hostingerDNSRecord`) and conversion functions (`toGenericDNSRecord`, `toHostingerDNSRecord`).

2. **Validate before mutating.** The Hostinger DNS implementation calls a `/validate` endpoint before applying updates. If your provider offers similar validation, use it.

3. **Synthesize IDs when the API does not provide them.** Hostinger does not return record IDs in zone listings, so the client synthesizes them from `name/type/priority`.

4. **Handle rate limits transparently.** The client retries on HTTP 429 with exponential back-off, capping at 60 seconds per retry and 3 retries total. This keeps rate-limit handling invisible to the caller.
